FISHING LEAGUE WORLDWIDE, ABU GARCIA AND BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA ANNOUNCE NEW CONTINGENCY PROGRAM FOR YOUTH BASS ANGLERS

[print_link]

MINNEAPOLIS (March 6, 2019) – Fishing League Worldwide (FLW), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, Abu Garcia, an industry-leading fishing rod and reel manufacturer, and the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), announced today a new contingency program for youth bass anglers who fish the YETI FLW College and Bass Pro Shops FLW High School tournament circuits.

Per the terms of the program, the BSA will award an Abu Garcia Black Max Low Profile reel to the highest finisher in each YETI FLW College Fishing tournament who is a current or former Scout (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Scouts BSA, Sea Scout, Venturing or Exploring), as well as the highest finishers in each Bass Pro Shops FLW High School Fishing Open and the 2019 High School Fishing National Championship who meet the same criteria.

“Abu Garcia is proud to be working with the Scouts and FLW to help support and grow the sport of fishing among high school and college students,” said Jon Schlosser, Vice President of Marketing for Abu Garcia. “We recognize that student anglers represent the future of the sport, and we are committed to investing in building a community around fishing that today’s youth can be a part of. We started this mission with the launch of the Berkley and Abu Garcia Student Angler program in September 2018 to help support high school and college teams by providing fundraising opportunities, a jersey program and pro angler mentoring, and are looking forward to growing the program in the future. Given our focus on supporting student anglers, working with the Scouts to support their contingency program with FLW made perfect sense, and we are excited to be a part of the program.”

The Boy Scouts of America has been heavily involved with tournament fishing for a number of years, with pro angler Tom Redington of Royse City, Texas, representing the brand on the FLW Tour.

“Scouting and fishing go hand-in-hand. Every year, kids head to BSA camps where there are fishing ponds, and for many of them, it’s their first experience with a rod and reel,” said Redington. “The BSA is just a great way for kids to gain basic knowledge about fishing, and for those who are more serious about it, it’s a chance to connect with friends and leaders who can help them elevate their skills to fish at the high school and college levels.”

The contingency programs are open to all YETI FLW College and Bass Pro Shops FLW High School anglers who meet the BSA criteria. To determine eligibility, anglers must notify the tournament director of their Scout status.

The Last World Championship

[print_link]

In a few short days, bass fishing is going to have a very bittersweet moment. For all intents and purposes, fans of the sport will see the last “real” Bassmaster Classic. This is the last time “The Super Bowl of Bass Fishing” will consist of the best of the best. The sad truth is, BASS’s field is just to watered down after the mass migration to Major League Fishing, and in 2020, The Bassmaster Classic will likely be a novelty.

. There has always been something romantic about The Classic, and it is the one bass tournament in the world that is allowed to be dramatic. What could be more exciting than the 60ish best Pros in the World trying to find the 15 biggest bass in a lake for three days? The Classic gave fans the best moments in the Sport. Takahiro Omori winning on the final day with only minutes left, Mike Iaconelli’s “Never Give Up!” speech, Kevin VanDam stunning Jeff Kriet on Lay Lake, and more recently Jordan Lee’s almost impossible comeback on final day. What made these moments special is they happened on the grandest stage of them all, on a weekend where the whole realm of outdoor sports stops to take note.

At least for the foreseeable future, bass fishing only gets to have that weekend one more time. Only one more time will the best in the best compete under the simple rule of “15 biggest wins”. By next year, it’ll just be another tournament. It will have a ton of talent, but it won’t have THE Talent. The 2020 winner’s dreams will have come true, but in the back of his mind, the only thing that would have made it sweeter is beating the cast of the former Bassmaster Elite Series. Fans will pay attention, but not like they will this year, or in years past. The Bassmaster Classic is about to become very watered down.

Of course, the elephant in the room is the New MLF Bass Pro Tour’s world championship. If it’s anything like the first couple of events of the new MLF trail, in my opinion it’s likely to be fairly lackluster. Call me old-fashioned, but the every fish counts format is not nearly as exciting. Though the MLF has without a doubt the best of the best, and so will the Championship, you don’t have to best to win it. I’ll probably take some flack for saying this, but we can all go out and catch 14 inch line burners. For the first time ever, the eventual world champion has the chance of winning on the backs of small fish. The format in the MLF has always had a way of making pros look surprisingly more average than a traditional 5-fish limit format. The shotgun and elimination rounds make it interesting, but they still don’t obligate great fisherman to catch great fish. A check that large and a title that significant should not hinge on catching more skinny 1 pound rails than everyone else. You don’t necessarily have to out-prepare or out-talent the like of Kevin VanDam, Skeet Reese, or Jordan Lee. You don’t have to force yourself to target bigger fish. You don’t have to grind. You can be in a position to win by just getting more mediocre bites.

I haven’t forgotten about the Forrest Wood Cup either. I’ve been one round from it twice and the thought of making it made FLW College National Championship appearances seem like a qualifier more than a league title. But it isn’t, and never has been The Classic. Even when it was paying out a million dollars it wasn’t The Classic. Careers are born in the Forrest Wood Cup, but legends get born in The Classic. The MLF Championship, The Bassmaster Classic, and the Forrest Wood Cup in 2020 could have us wondering which is the most significant, and who really was the world champion that year.

That’s why what’s about to happen next month is so significant, and it might end up being the greatest bass tournament we’ve ever seen. Even though they would never admit it, the contestants fishing the Tennessee River next month know it could be the last time The Bassmaster Classic means everything for the winner. Cream is going to rise to the top, and the best of the best will try harder than we’ve ever seen to hoist that trophy and have the confetti fall in the sport’s most pinnacle moment. If you can make the trip to Knoxville, by all means do it, especially if you have never been to a Bassmaster Classic. Because at least until the winds of change blow in the world of pro bass fishing again, we’re likely about to witness the end of an era, and the last great World Championship.

B.A.S.S. Names Leading Student Athletes To 2019 Bassmaster High School All-State Fishing Team

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Sixty-two outstanding high school anglers from across the country have been named to the 2019 Bassmaster High School All-State Fishing Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors.

The students were selected for the honor based on their success in bass tournament competition, academic achievement and leadership in conservation and community service.

“The Bassmaster High School All-American program recognizes the best young anglers in the nation,” said Bruce Akin, B.A.S.S. CEO. “These student athletes are at the top of our sport both with their tournament success and academic achievements. We are proud to honor their accomplishments on a national level.”

To be considered for the All-State Fishing Team, a student must have been nominated by a parent, coach, teacher or other school official. Students currently enrolled in grades 10-12 with a current-year grade point average of 2.5 or higher were eligible.

B.A.S.S. received more than 400 nominations from across the nation. From these, judges selected 62 student anglers from 35 states to make the All-State Fishing Team. In addition, 32 students received Honorable Mentions recognizing them for their tournament success as well as community service and academic achievement.

“These qualifiers are helping shape the future of our sport,” said Hank Weldon, senior manager of the B.A.S.S. High School program. “Their enthusiasm for sportfishing and their communities is exceptional, and we can only imagine what the future holds for these anglers.

“We are extremely proud to see our Bassmaster All-American program flourish, and we congratulate these student anglers on their success on and off the water.”

A second panel of judges will review nominations of the 62 All-State team members and select the 12 members of the 2019 Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors. As in All-State judging, criteria include success in high school fishing tournaments, involvement in conservation efforts and other community service activities.

The 12 finalists will compete in a one-day Bassmaster All-American High School Bass Tournament held during the 2019 Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest benefiting Texas Parks and Wildlife Department event, a fan-favorite festival that will take place May 2-6 on Lake Fork out of Emory, Texas.

Elite Series anglers will serve as teammates and “coaches” of the student anglers in the tournament. The high school standouts will be honored on the main Texas Fest stage at the weigh-in.

HENDERSON, Nev. (March 4, 2019) – The California Polytechnic State University duo of Jesse Wilson of Atascadero, California, and Daniel Papp of Salinas, California, won the YETI FLW College Fishing event on Lake Mead presented by Bass Pro Shops Saturday with a five-bass limit weighing 11 pounds, 4 ounces. The victory earned the Mustang’s bass club $2,000 and a slot in the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship.

“We were fishing out of a 17½-foot Tracker Boat – the smallest boat in the field,” said Papp, a freshman majoring in Agricultural Systems Management. “Because of that, we couldn’t go far, but that turned out to be the right decision.

“We were fishing the outside brush lines in a few different cuts and coves,” Papp continued. “I caught our first fish on a 3½-inch Strike King Pro Tube (green-pumpkin and purple fleck) early. That spot wasn’t producing any more bites, so we went to our next cut and were targeting secondary points with swimbaits. Jesse caught the next two keepers – the biggest bites of the day – on a pro blue and red pearl-colored Keitech Easy Shiner.”

Around 9 a.m. the sun came out, and Papp said that it shut the fishing down. The Mustang duo didn’t catch their final two keepers until just 30 minutes before check in.

“The waves were brutal, so we were forced to head back to the cove near the launch ramp,” Papp said. “We managed to catch two more at the end of the day – both smallmouth. Our fifth keeper literally came on my very last cast. It turned out to be the winning fish.”

The top 10 teams that advanced to the 2020 College Fishing National Championship are:

1st:           California Polytechnic State University – Jesse Wilson, Atascadero, Calif., and Daniel Papp, Salinas, Calif., five bass, 11-4, $2,000

2nd:          Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus – Dillon Davis, Queen Creek, Ariz., and Travis Race, Tempe, Ariz., three bass, 10-9, $1,400

3rd:          Northern Arizona University – Levi Wittrock, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Gunnar Stanton, Boulder City, Nev., five bass, 9-0, $700

4th:           Grand Canyon University – Joseph Dwyer, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Tommy Sendek, Tucson, Ariz., four bass, 7-8, $950

5th:           California Polytechnic State University – Hugh Cosculluela, The Woodlands, Texas., and Patrick Ellis, San Diego, Calif., four bass, 7-0, $750

6th:           Arizona State University – John Herrero, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Logan Mueller, Gilbert, Ariz., three bass, 6-11

7th:           New Mexico State University – Ty Faulconer, Santa Clarita, Calif., and Daylon Smith, Frazier Park, Calif., four bass, 5-13

8th:           Arizona State University – Ryan Slivkoff and A.J. Holland, both of Tempe, Ariz., three bass, 5-11, $250

9th:           Arizona State University – Brandon Cook, Gilroy, Calif., and Steven Latino, Chandler, Ariz., two bass, 5-7

10th:        California State University-Long Beach – Cole Thomas, Lakewood, Calif., two bass, 3-4

Complete results for the entire field can be found at FLWFishing.com.

The YETI FLW College Fishing event on Lake Mead presented by Bass Pro Shops was hosted by the Henderson Chamber of Commerce Cultural Arts and Tourism Department. It was the first of three regular-season qualifying tournaments for Western Conference anglers. The next event for FLW College Fishing anglers will be the 2019 FLW College Fishing Open, March 12-13 at Kentucky Lake in Gilbertsville, Kentucky.

YETI FLW College Fishing teams compete in three regular-season qualifying tournaments in one of five conferences – Central, Northern, Southern, Southeastern and Western. All participants must be registered, full-time students at a college, university or community college and members of a college fishing club that is recognized by their school. The top 10 teams from each division’s three regular-season tournaments and the top 20 teams from the annual FLW College Fishing Open will advance to the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship. Additional teams will qualify for the National Championship if the field size in regular-season events exceeds 100 boats. The Potomac River and Marbury, Maryland, will play host to the 2019 FLW College Fishing National Championship, June 4-6, 2019.

MARTINEZ’S BECKUM WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE SAVANNAH RIVER DIVISION TOURNAMENT ON CLARKS HILL LAKE

Co-angler Title Awarded to Honea Path’s Henderson

[print_link]

APPLING, Ga. (March 4, 2019) – Boater Adam Beckum of Martinez, Georgia, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 22 pounds, 10 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Savannah River Division tournament on Clarks Hill Lake. Beckum pocketed $4,011 for his efforts.

“I fished secondary points, catching fish that were moving in – coming from the deep to the shallows,” said Beckum, who earned his second career victory in BFL competition – first as a boater. “I probably fished 10 or 15 areas, including some in the Little River, Chigoe Creek and Keg Creek. I sat in 15 feet of water and threw up into 8 or 10 feet. I’d hit a couple of spots in each creek and then work my back through.”

Beckum said he used a black and blue-colored Ketch-Her Lures jig with a green-pumpkin Zoom Super Chunk trailer to catch his fish, adding that he caught nine keepers during the tournament.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 10-12 BFL Regional Championship on Lake Seminole in Bainbridge, Georgia. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard.

The 2019 BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American. The 2019 BFL All-American will be held May 30-June 1 at the Potomac River in Marbury, Maryland, and is hosted by the Charles County Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism and the Commissioners of Charles County. Top performers in the BFL can move up to the Costa FLW Series or even the FLW Tour.
